Children are recorded anonymously in the system (e.g. "Child 1", "Child 2") and do not include:

• first and last name

This ensures maximum protection of children's privacy.

4. Sharing data with third parties

User data is not shared with third parties, except in the following cases:

• when legally required

In all cases, we ensure data processing complies with applicable regulations.

5. Data protection

We take data security seriously and apply appropriate technical and organizational measures, including:

• encrypted HTTPS communication
• controlled data access through role-based system
• limited access to authorized users only

Although we apply high security standards, no system can guarantee absolute data security.
